Further obgects ot the invention Will apr pear troni the following` description when read in connection with the acoinpanying drawings showing an illustrative enibodi inent of the device, wherein:

Figure 1 is a plan view,

Figure 2 is a like vievv with the cover reinoved,

Figure 3 is a central vertical section on line 3--3 ot Figure 1, and

Figure 4 is an end View partly in section on line i-el of Figure l. Y

As shown, the device comprises a body 10 having flanges 11, 12, for connection `into a pipe line in a Well-known manner. `The inlet ot the valve is shown at 1o and the outlet at lLl and a valve seat is shown at `15.

rllhe valve body is formed with an enlarged recessed portion at 16 from which portion the interior ot the valve body tapers to the outlet valve body 1d. To give access to the interior ot the body, an opening is provided into the enlarged portion 16 at 17 which openingis shown as closed by acover plate 18, a gasket 19 being provided to preserve a tight joint. To provide for the securing' of cover plate 18 to the valve body, the latter is pro-` vided With a flange 2() surrounding the opening 17, uponv which flange the cover `plate may be secured as by means of bolts 21.

The interior of the valve body is desirably lined with non-corroding inaterial, a portion is shown as lined with Wood, another portion being lined with suoli material as lead, and the portions which are not lined in such manner are desirably formed of a non-corredinqmaterial such as bronze. For convenience in such `as bronze. in the action of the valve will be toward tlie vinlet 13 and .to resist this pressure, the col- 1926. Serial No. 118,240.

placing the lining, the inner surfaces of the body are ornied in such manner that Wood may be applied thereto Without bending the Wood in a direction transverse to the lenig-3th ot grain. To this end, the interior ot the enlargement 16 ofthe chamber is shown as formed upon vertical lines whereby thicle 'ened slabs of Wood as 22, 23 inay be used to line the sides of the chainbei and vertical, transversely curved strips, straight throughout their length, 2-l inay be used in the curved 'trent portion of the chamber.

The lower edges 4of the strips 22, `23, .are indicated as thinned avvay at 2" upon a curve to preservethe contour of the lower portion oit the valve chamber. The latter portion oi? the chamber may be lined with strips which are straight throughout their lengijth, curved transversely, and properly tapered to fit Within the space. rllie portion oi? `the bodv adjacent the inlet 13 is a siinple cylinder to line. rlilie inside oiv the cover 18 is shown as lined `With a nonseorrodine inetal, as lead,

at 27. Preferably'dovetailed'shaped recesses 28 .are formed in the material` of the cover and the lead lining` 27 is applied in a inolten coi ditioninto a. recess 29 in the cover, the inol inatrn'ial `flow-ing into `the recess to secure the liningr in position. The vertical rear surface of the chainber Y15 is .shown as lined at -30 with `a material oi' the nature of that used at 27. In this instance also, dovetailed shaped recesses 31, 32 are .desirablv provided inthe casting' orming `the :body of the valve to interlock vviththeappliedlining metal.A i i Y To carry the valve seat 15 and the `iiap valve 38, .there is shown a collar 34 which vis desirably cast of `a non-corroding' material Pressure upon this collar .lar .3,4 is `slioivn as 'provided With `a shoulder 35 `seated against a complementary shoulder inthe body 10. The second shoulder `36 is shown to overlap the liningBO. The valve bodyiis shown as slightly recessed at 37 so -tliat the .lining `38 ot the inlet portion of the valve niay Ybe thiolrerthan andiush with the interior surface ot the collar 34.

To carry the Hap valve 33, a journal is provided in the form of ears 39, 40 having upwardly open slots to receive the pin 41 upon which the flap valve is hung.

The pin 41 is shown as passed through lugs 42 carried by the Hap valve and as provided with a cotter pin 43 to retain the pin in position.

To prevent escape of the pin 41 from the slots, there is shown mounted upon the cover 18, a stud 44 provided with an interior sh0ul der to bear against the inside of the cover and retained in position by a nut 45 upon the exterior of the cover.

To act as a stop for the opening movement of the valve, a stop pin or stud 46 is provided carried by the cover in the same manner as the stud 44. By removal of the plate 18 the studs 44 and 4G will be taken away and the flap valve 33 may be freely lifted from its seat for inspection, repair or replacement.

Flap valve 33 is preferably formed also of a material such as bronze.

To provide a parallel motion of the lap valve relative to the plane of its seat during the initial opening of thevalve, the openings in the ears which act as journals for the valve on the pin 41 are elongated as indicated at 48 allowing the valve to move bodily prior to its upward swing and to close by a reverse action.

The stop pin 46 is made long enough so that when the valve 33 is in its full open position, as shown in dot-and-dash line in Figure 3, the valve will not be completel housed in the recess 22 but the end of the va ve will project into the outlet passage. VAs a result of this relation of parts, the stream of liquid owing through the valve will exert a constant pressure upon the valve flap and will thus prevent fluttering of the valve. Moreover, since the end of the valve flap is held in the position shown, a backward surge of liquid will immediately exert a closing pressure upon the valve.

A flow direction indicator is desirably provided upon the cover in the form of an arrow 4 Minor1 changes may be made in the physical embodiment of the invention Without departing from the spirit thereof.

`I claim:

1. A check valve comprising, in combination, a casing having axially aligned inlet and outlet ports and an enlargement midway of its length, a collar carrying a valve seat having a shoulder seat-ing against a complementary shoulder upon the interior of the inlet )ortion of the casing, a lining of non-corroding metal for the base of said enlargement about said collar, a laterally opening recess, a valve coacting with said seat and swinging into said recess, a cover for said opening, a lining of non-corroding metal carried by said cover and a lining of Wood Within said casing and recess.

abutting said collar and the inner surface thereof substantially Hush with the interior surface of said collar, a valve hingedly related to said collar, closing thereagainst and adapted to swing into said recess, and a non-corrodible lining for said outlet portion.

In testimony whereof I ali-lx my signature.
